Anyway, I did this swap years ago with my 1948 Chevy 3100, and am looking to do it again with a 56 3200. I want to replace the three on the tree with a factory 4 speed with creeper gear. I know it will bolt on at the engine, can't remember if I'll need a different crossmember or ujoint at the rear? Any info is appreciated! I already have the trans out if a 53 that had a torque tube.

Anyone know if the u joint for a half ton 3 speed is different than the half ton 4 speed?
